I applied online. I interviewed at Guidewire in Apr 2025
Interview
The entire process dragged on for over a month with six rounds of interviews. The final round felt completely rushed and taken for granted, as if the decision had already been made. After investing so much time and effort, I was ghosted for a week before being told I was rejected — with no feedback or closure. It’s disappointing when companies fail to respect candidates’ time and effort, especially after such an extensive interview process.
I had interviews with the recruiter, the hiring manager, business partners and an in person interview.
The interview team was pleasant and seemed high performing, and the questions were exactly what you'd expect for a PM role. However, after the final interview, I never heard back, even after following up. While the role wasn't a perfect fit, I was dissapointed by the unprofessional and discourteous lack of follow-up.
I did an initial screening with a recruiter, an interview with the hiring director, another interview with the hiring director and an engagement manager, another interview with another engagement manager... and then I heard nothing back.
Absolutely nothing.
This is a company that ghosts people.
Great experience, detailed job understanding by interviewer gave me a clearer picture of how I could contribute meaningfully to the team.. Fosters a thoughtful, high-caliber product culture, and our conversation only deepened my excitement about the opportunity.
